Tirpitz

Tirpitz

 Tirpitz — German • Premium • Tier VII • Battleship.

One of the two mightiest battleships in the German Navy. Akin to the lead ship of her class, Tirpitz had heavy ship armor, powerful artillery, and a high speed. Weak horizontal armor protection was the main drawback of her design, but this was largely offset by improving her AA defenses.

Tirpitz was first released as the final reward of the Hunt for Tirpitz campaign, which took place from August 12th to September 15th, 2019. The ship is now available in the store for 750 000 Global XP.
